Computed tomography (CT) scans were used for earlier research, but magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provides several advantages over CT. These higher-resolution images allow for more accurate measurement of structural volumes, which is facilitated by the MRI's ability to distinguish gray and white matter. Additionally, the MRI can discern smaller abnormalities not visible on CT. This chapter reviews recent MRI findings and emphasizes their clinical importance.
